    Police Record Check while out of state

    The Navy is actually smart to ask for local (PD, Sheriff, etc) authority criminal record checks based on where you have lived. Not all local authorities report arrests to the FBI or even state databases (NCIC-National Crime Information Center, CJIS-California Justice Information System as...

    Service Academy Admissions Error...advice please?

    My advice would be to leave it as it is as difficult as that may be. As the parent of a TWE and then successful re-applicant I understand. Reapply if desired for class of 2024. I also agree that if the SA REALLY wanted to they would find a way to admit this year. I honestly doubt that you will...

    Reapplying to USNA (after a turndown)

    My son went to a 4 yr state university, took freshman STEM classes, ROTC, 3.5 gpa after 1st semester, improved SAT score by 20 points and received an appt to both USAFA/USNA after TWE from both last year.

    Senior Prank advice

    I simply told my two kids that this was a test. If your judgement is so poor as to participate in something stupid that could impact your future then you absolutely did not have the judgement necessary to attend a SA and you should forget about it. Now do what you think is best and be prepared...

    I don't know of any similar organizations for NROTC.

    WebGuy Program

    I would recommend it for the doolie year. After that its really kind of frustrating. If you don't mind looking through literally hundreds of pictures for a glance then go for it. Just my opinion. They try very hard to capture every squadron in events AFTER doolie year but they don't. Its just...

    Appointment after TWE?

    IMHO, it's about on par with winning the lottery. Focus on your freshman ROTC year. As the dad of a direct appointee and now a re-applicant, I can offer some advice. Move on from the class of 2023. Put all your focus on next fall. Review the stickie for re-applicants. Take tough classes similar...

    Seeking Direction on Poor Choice Made

    Not to beat a dead horse but I find it a bit amusing to watch this game of "telephone" play out. The OP knows exactly what has occurred. OP clearly stated that a criminal charge of retail fraud was filed by the District Attorney (DA). OP also said the case was adjudicated with her son completing...

    Seeking Direction on Poor Choice Made

    As a retired Police Officer I felt it might help to clear up terms. OP, your son was "arrested". A citation to appear in court for a misdemeanor charge is an arrest. He was identified to the officers satisfaction and because the misdemeanor did not occur in the officer's presence he was...

    Confussion after the TWE

    Demographics and "diversity" play a much larger role than many think. Just my opinion.

    If I don't know, should I assume?

    I think many would agree. In reality, the true definition is what each service academy determines it to be.

    If I don't know, should I assume?

    My son focused on three areas this year to improve his application. 1st, strive to make the best grades possible in all of his freshman university mechanical engineering curriculum classes, 2nd, be the best cadet possible in his AFROTC detachment (academically, physically and participation)...

    If I don't know, should I assume?

    I'll share one other often spoken about issue that sometimes occurs with college ROTC re-applicants. Don't be surprised when that kid who was devastated after receiving the dreaded TWE and who works his/her butt off to reapply and finally gets that coveted appointment tells you that they are now...

    If I don't know, should I assume?

    I think people believe that only SAT/ACT scores and GPA are the key factors for what defines a "extremely or highly" competitive applicant. If you really invest time researching this forum you will see that so much more is involved. IMHO, I believe demographics play a much bigger role than many...
